<p>cocoa puffs for me</p>
<p>all-nighters? Never pulled one on a school night haha…now that I think about it, the latest ive ever been up was till 4AM…but I remember drinking a ton of coffee</p>
<p>Coffee and 5-hour energies. But all-nighters? I have -never- pulled one in my high school career.</p>
<p>I for one pull one every 2 weeks or so and stay up past 3 weekly.</p>
<p>What my repeated torture has taught me?</p>
<p>Too much coffee gets you nowhere. It can seriously screw you up (I am slightly caffeine sensitive, but regardless, it applies to everyone)</p>
<p>Use coffee with a grain of caution.</p>
<p>take a cold shower</p>
<p>My innate ability to survive without sleep ;)</p>
<p>Sent from my SGH-T959V using CC</p>
<p>I’ve only had to pull off one all-nighter (although there was the time I skipped school to finish a paper as well) I got through it with coffee, Vault sodas, and the realization that there was no other way to pass 11th grade English.</p>
<p>And I was so tired the next day that after turning in the paper I left school early “sick.” I’m not good with having limited sleep. I need at least 5 hours or I WON’T make it through the day.</p>
<p>I personally can do without sleep but not without food, so it’s not so hard for me. But music helps- especially songs that I can sing and know the lyrics to.</p>
<p>Meh, if it takes me longer than 3 A.M. to finish an assignment, I just skip the next day and work on it. I rarely do this though. I only do it around twice a semester (i.e. 4 times every school year)</p>
<p>If you manage your time well, you wouldn’t need to pull all nighters lol</p>
<p>touche, micro 
good music definitely helps. or you can vigorously exercise for a minute.</p>
<p>Knowing that my fellow overachieving classmates also pull all-nighters gets me through at that awkward 4-AM stage. </p>
<p>Haha. Just kidding. </p>
<p>Actually, OP, that’s a pretty good question. I once read somewhere that one of Martin Luther’s followers put sand in his mouth so that he could stay awake studying the “95 Theses.” Not that I’d ever try that. </p>
<p>You know what works fairly well? Pain. I usually end up stabbing myself with a pencil to help me focus. Or I bite my finger. I’m not emo (or a cannibal); pain actually stops me from dozing off and drooling on my textbooks about 50% of the time. The other half of the time I pass out from sheer exhaustion. (It’s fun.)</p>
<p>I’ve never had an all-nighter, but I have stayed up pretty late (for me, that is lol. the latest was about 1 AM and I ended up not going to school the next day).</p>
<p>music usually distracts me. caffeine has virtually no effect on me, so coffee wakes me up because of the heat. I also think it’s just been wired into my brain that coffee=awake, so it probably is psychological too.</p>
<p>"Knowing that my fellow overachieving classmates also pull all-nighters gets me through at that awkward 4-AM stage. "</p>
<p>YES 4 AM IS SUCH AN AWKWARD TIME.</p>
<p>Red bull and gummy worms. I eat a gummy worm like every 30 minutes, it’s like a sugar boost that keeps me up. Though I’ve developed such a high caffeine tolerance that it usually takes 2 cans of redbull. It’s bad.</p>
<p>I’ve only pulled like 3 all nighters, though I am up until 3 pretty regularly. If I really can’t finish, I usually just skip the next day of school or go late or something.</p>
<p>I’m more of a sleep-all-nighter kind of guy.</p>
<p>^ + 10 cool pts for Jimbo</p>
<p>The latest I’ve ever stayed up is 3 A.M. I managed to stay awake through drinking three liters of strong tea. That and the sheer terror of getting a bad grade kept me awake. I did get a hundred on it though.</p>
<p>Going for a run outside in the middle (like 3 or 4am). No music, just jog for 20 mins or so and relax. Always helps me focus and gives me energy to get through it.</p>
<p>^that would be so scary…</p>
<p>MICRO. You CANNOT give out cool points. YOU’RE NOT A CERTIFIED LENDER OF COOL POINTS LIKE ME.</p>
